What are my chances at Babson

I live in Maryland, I have allready been accepted to U Illinois-urbana and purdue-WL w/ 1710 new SATs (1st time I took them) and w/out SAT 2s

610M 600CR 590 W

1210 OLD SAT, 1800 NEW SAT, Essay score 8

700 SAT II math level 1

I speak both french and spanish I am Latino
AP french 5
AP spanish 5

Apparently my Essay was very good (according to my councelor)

Private french international school, highly regarded in east coast

3.5 GPA (not sure at all)

And Babson LOVES my school apparently, its a private french international school in Wash. DC suburbs

I have work experience as well,

If you applied a few years ago, you probably would have been accepted. I have many classmates with similar stats, a little higher for math SAT scores. You should be accepted as long as you show the admissions you are interested, register onto the stupid website, reply back to get their spam mail, maybe visit the school. I have no idea what the new SAT will be like though because I never had to take it, nor did my classmates. Being latin is good too because babson loves latins, if you had your home address as Miami, you would be so money.

UIUC offers a better holistic (well-rounded) education and is even stronger than Babson for business in general.

I don't see why you wouldn't go to UIUC.

I'd take all the schools you listed above Cornell, Rochester, Case, McGill, UMCP over Babson. It doesn't make sense for you to leave your home state of Maryland where you have access to a top 20 national business program at less than half the cost of Babson which is not nearly as recognized in general but is also not as strong for business or as diverse in both it's education or student body
